But I read the article about people in India dropping their babies from a 50-foot precipice for good luck, and guys...it's their beliefs. You can't go denouncing that as "stupid". It may seem crazy to us, but we're one to talk, we routinely cut stuff off of baby boys' junk, which probably looks totally messed up to some cultures. Just because it's not our beliefs doesn't mean we can go around calling those people stupid.

Katrina was not only one of the worst natural disasters in our history, but will go down as one of the worst national disasters.So many people should be ashamed of themselves.

There is NO excuse for our government's actions, in regard to Katrina; this incident (which we have ALREADY all been made aware - think the temporary housing fiasco) is worthy of significant public outcry.Brown was an idiot and thus, easy to make the 'fall guy' for something MUCH larger, which...well...hope it comes to light and the public awakens...is so very much more wrong.

uhhhhhhh...sorry Kiddo...not comparable, not even in the most remote and deranged sense.

Did you read the part of the article that mentions the babies are always caught? And damn it, stop calling me "Kiddo". I only got called "Kiddo" by my computer teacher from 5th grade, and he creeped me out.

Sorry about your teacher - that's HIM - and this thread, nor the topic being discussed, isn't about you. I call everybody 'Kiddo' - no exceptions - so, please take any concerns and gripes to the 'FLAME ROOM'...and no, I don't quite understand what point you are trying to get across...

- I know that, and the "kiddo" comment was meant to be lighthearted, so sorry if it came across differently. No need to break out the italics!- I was just saying that, while I know none of us here are xenophobic, no matter how crazy stuff from other cultures may seem, it's still dearly important to those people. I guess a better example may be the lip and neck stretching done in one African tribe.

Portray Obama as The President of the US, and people will see him as such.

Did you see the pictures I posted in which Obama is portrayed as Jesus? I don't believe those are accidents. I believe they're good marketing for a mediocre product. Subliminal advertising. Certainly seems to be working.
